1 Mabon ~ Full Moon in Virgo 10th March 2017 On this night we will be connecting to the energy of the Virgo Full Moon and the Horned God as he prepares for his death as Winter looms. Traditionally, the annual Virgo Full Moon opposite the Pisces Sun is a time to reflect upon the balance of energies between such qualities as service and compassion, craft and inspiration, analysis and intuition. The cooler days remind us that the Autumn Equinox is only days away and it is a time for thanksgiving and celebration of harvest abundance, of hearth, home, and family. Sydney Ritual (Tribal face paint is applied by participants before the start of the ritual.) By the power of the Dragons may this circle be blessed, cleansed and sanctified (x3)
